Places to eat on the Cairns campus
The Refectory
Location: the ground floor of building A2
The Refectory provides an endless range of meals, drinks and snacks at reasonable prices, catering to the wide variety of tastes. From hot meals, fresh salads, sandwiches and baguettes to pies, sausage rolls, fast food, burgers and definitely hot chips and gravy are all available. Grab our famous coffees to go with maybe a slice of cheesecake or if it’s something different you’re after, just ask the friendly staff and they will make it for you. Sit down and relax with the TV, or pop into the Student Association Office next door and pick up keys to watch a DVD/Video or the cues for the pool table or paddles for table tennis.
